Batelle’s Tactical Air Initiated Launch system (TAIL in its short form) is definitely something those in the special forces would like to own – after all, it is capable of shooting a sturdy titanium grappling hook on a Kevlar line as high as 100 feet in the air from up to 60 feet away. Fancy having one of these puppies? Well, it works to such a fine degree simply because the barrel of the powerful pneumatic cannon can be used to launch grappling hooks, as well as any object that fits in the barrel to the T. While this was meant for rescue missions, we’re pretty sure the more mischievous among you might use this as their next food fight secret weapon. We don’t think the general populace would be able to get hold of this in the first place anyways, so you might as well wipe that drool off your face. [Press Release]
